    Hey Crafty Friends!  Today's post features my first Monochrome Insta-Hop card of 2025. The staring color for this year is Daffodil Delight. It is a color that makes me smile.  Hope you find some inspiration here.  



    Card Details

    • Stamp - Grow with Love
    • Paper 
      • Daffodil Delight card base - 11" x  4 1/4" score/fold at 5 1/2"
      • Basic Black layers - 3 5/8" x 4 7/8" and 2 3/8" x 3 5/8"
      • Daddodil Delight embossed layer - 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" 
      • Daffodil Delight layer - 2 1/4" x 3 1/2" 
      • Basic White stamped layer - 2 1/8" x 3 3/8"
    • Ink
      • Memento Tuxedo Black
      • White Craft Ink
    • Tools
      • Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder



    After embossing the Daffodil Delight layer with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder I applied White Craft ink directly over the embossed layer.  The white craft ink is a pigment ink that requires some time to dry.  This is one of my favorite ways to add color to embossed layers.
